Clare was our childminder for 4 years, looking after our daughter 4 days per week. We had heard rave reviews about Clare and knew as soon as we met that she would be perfect for us too!
Clare creates a safe and fun environment for the children all whilst helping them grow and learn. Our daughter has grown with confidence and kindness with the help of Clare raising her whilst we both work.
It’s so hard to return to work after having a baby but knowing our daughter was being cared for by Clare made it so much easier.
We were so sad to leave Clare to go to school this September, but she has helped to nurture our child into the strong little lady she is, who is more than ready for the next step! The sadness is only testament to how amazing our experience with Clare has been.

Our little boy went to Clare for 4 years. He has just started school and was given confidence, independence and so much nurturing from Clare. Clare offers outdoor learning and exploring most days and the friends and relationships he made have been fantastic. Clare always went above and beyond for our little boy, nothing was too much trouble and he shone when in her care, getting a love of animals which has been brilliant for him.
Clare is so caring, nurturing and really wants the best for the children in her care. I can't recommend her highly enough! If you need a childminder, this is the lady to call!
